Sample Text

The first compilation of dub-o-phonic is a musical journey to some
unknown areas of dub music. Compiled by Dub Thomas, “Explorations in
Dub” tries to find the hidden elements of dub music in musical genres,
where under normal circumstances no dub is existent. This release might
not comply with the “conventional” dub reggae as we know it. Being the
tenth release of the label, Dub Thomas selects tracks with a strong
experimental musical vibe, staying truthful to the future sound of the
label.

Included in this compilation
is Dub-I’s “Rididub Master” in a new extended version, serving not only
as a musical flashback to our first release, but also as a starting
point for the dubs to follow, while the jazz/ambient tracks of
Hernibernie and SXtheMadArtist (the cover art designer of the release)
are perhaps at the highest innovation point. Knoto manages to strip a
famous reggae song down to its basic beat elements keeping the melody as
a sweet buzz in your head. Daidalos One offers an atmospheric
intermission, Ras Robbin Denis fuses an ethnic/ambient feel, Dub Across
Borders blips and clicks, Negro Pirana dubs the blues, Mr Mefistou
builds up slowly a dubbed step, Green Glow steps it up, Twixymillia
rewinds it, while Dub Riots, Roots Dubbing Project, The Dubbstyle,
Rakoon and Red Barrio transform irie melodies into experimental
dubscapes.

“Dub
means experimentation with sound. From the first innovations of King
Tubby to the unorthodox techniques of Lee "scratch" Perry, dub has
always been evolving, influencing many of the musical genres of our
century, whether these are called Hip-Hop, Electronica, Fusion or even
World/Ethnic music. This is a journey into the world of dub!” - Dub
